Chapter 701: I Don’t Want to Be the Queen
Gu Fei raised her eyebrows slightly, "You don't want to?"
Qin Xin pouted, "Who wants to?"
"The emperor is so thin and ugly."
"If the emperor is as handsome as your son, I would also like to."
Gu Fei chuckled, "That's the highest position among women, aren't you tempted at all?"
Qin Xin snorted, "Sister, can't you see that the emperor wants me to be the queen in the current situation, but he doesn't really want to marry me."
"My father leads the troops of the capital camp, he is afraid that my father has ulterior motives."
"You tell me, why are you in such a hurry? The queen has only been dead for a few days. There are so many things in the court now, why bother to rush at this moment."
Gu Fei thought for a while, "What do your parents say?"
Qin Xin sighed "My parents don't want to, either. They say that with my personality, I won't live long if I marry into the palace."
She lowered her voice, "My mother asked someone to write a marriage certificate. If the empress dowager asks about it tomorrow, she will say that my cousin and I have been engaged for a long time."
Gu Fei thought about the emperor's insistence on marrying Xiao Yu, "I'm afraid this is not safe."
Qin Xin frowned, "I don't think it's safe either. If the emperor issues an order, can I not marry?"
"I don't want to enter the palace. It's not fun at all. There are too many rules. I'll be suffocated if I go there."
Gu Fei looked at Qin Xin sympathetically, "You haven't reached the age of marriage yet? Are you getting married before you reach the age of marriage?"
"That is to say, I have to wait until September to reach the age of marriage. It's so annoying. I don't want to get married!" She sighed with her chin in her hand.
Gu Fei whispered, "It's not up to you whether you marry or not. The initiative is in the hands of the emperor."
"Unless the emperor changes his mind."
Qin Xin frowned, "If the emperor is willing to change his mind, I'm willing to do anything."
Gu Fei thought for a while, "Or, you scare the emperor so that he doesn't dare to marry you."
Qin Xin became interested, "How to scare?"
Gu Fei lowered his voice and said a few words in Qin Xin's ear, and then said, "I can only think of these stupid ways, and I don't know if they work."
"If the emperor is determined to marry you, then nothing will work."
Qin Xin narrowed her eyes and nodded, "I can't care so much, at least give it a try, maybe it will work."
After getting this idea, Qin Xin felt relieved and started to gossip with Gu Fei again.
"Have you heard that Queen Zheng was hanged by eunuchs with white silk? Before she died, she cursed the emperor as a tyrant, saying that the emperor was incompetent and was suspicious of this and that all day long. Duke Anguo was forced to rebel by the emperor."
Gu Fei smiled, "How come you know everything about the palace?"
Qin Xin was a little proud, "Of course I have my own information channels. This matter has spread all over the palace, how can I not know?"
The two talked for a while, Miaokong and Xiao Yu couldn't come over, and although Qin Xin still had a lot of gossip in her stomach, she also said goodbye tactfully.
The next morning, Qin Xin and her mother, Lady Ningguo, entered the palace in a carriage.
The two were treated much better than Gu Fei when they entered the palace that day. When they entered the Queen Mother's Palace, they lowered their heads and were about to kneel down, and the female official next to the Queen Mother said, "No need to be polite."
Qin Xin stood up and raised her head. The Queen Mother's eyes fell on her face. She saw that the little girl had drooping eyebrows and mouth corners, and she looked sad at a young age.
The Queen Mother was displeased when she saw this, but she did not show it on her face. She signaled to the female official beside her to give the two of them seats.
